According to the sheriff, his office received a call around 1:54 a.m. from Huntsville Police Department where Zeeshan Maqbool had reportedly made an unsolicited outcry that he had “killed some people in San Jacinto County” after his vehicle was stopped by police.

“The Sheriff’s Office Detective Division was notified and responded to the initial scene as well as the Huntsville Police Department and Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston,” Capers said.

Zeeshan Maqbool is charged with Murder and Aggravated Assault With a Deadly Weapon.

Justice of the Peace Greg Magee conducted the inquest and ordered an autopsy.

Capers expressed his appreciation to “everyone involved in this case for their expediency in responding to the scene and performing their jobs at the highest levels.”
